Targeted disruption of the Kcnj5 gene in the female mouse lowers aldosterone levels. [PDF]
Aldosterone is released from adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells and plays an important role in Na and K homoeostasis. Mutations in the human inwardly rectifying K channel CNJ type (KCNJ) 5 (KCNJ5) gene encoding the G-coupled inwardly rectifying K ...

Multivariate Normal Distribution Method for a Virtual Cerebral Arterial Population
A simple multivariate normal distribution (MVND) method for generating a population of distributed virtual arteries with multiple geometric features was developed. The distribution of geometric features in virtual arteries represents the distribution in real arteries. ABSTRACT Recently, the concept of a virtual population (Vpop) has attracted attention

Nuclear imaging in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Primary aldosteronism is increasingly recognized as a common secondary cause of hypertension. Successful demonstration of a unilateral cause (e.g. a classical 'Conn's adenoma') offers the potential for curative adrenalectomy.

The impact of sodium chloride (NaCl) supplementation on proximal and distal tubular reabsorption in acute heart failure (AHF). Abstract Aims We questioned the long‐standing paradigm that sodium/chloride restriction is essential for effective decongestion in acute heart failure (AHF). This study compared the decongestive effects of two isotonic infusion

Aldosterone-producing adenoma and other surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism
Surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism are characterized by unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion and renin suppression, associated with varying degrees of hypertension and hypokalemia. Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion is caused by an

Monogenic forms of hypertension [PDF]
Arterial hypertension in childhood is less frequent as compared to adulthood but is more likely to be secondary to an underlying disorder. After ruling out more obvious causes, some patients still present with strongly suspected secondary hypertension of

Roentgenoendovascular destruction of adrenal glands in the management of primary aldosteronism
Background. In the XXI century, interventional radiology is developing rapidly in the surgical treatment for endocrine pathology of adrenal glands. Until the introduction of aldosterone to renin ratio calculation as a screening test by K.
